It's similar to a pound cake in that it doesn't need any icing, but it is moist and very dense. It goes perfectly with a big, tall glass of milk or a piping hot cup of tea as a late afternoon snack or dessert after a lighter meal.
Ingredients
- 2 cups flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup milk
- 2-3 tbsp cocoa powder
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease a cake pan
- In one bole, mix butter and sugar until creamy
- Add eggs, one at a time
- In a separate bowl, mix the flour, salt and baking powder
- In a measuring cup, pour the milk and add the vanilla
- In small increments, add some of the flour mixture to the butter/sugar mixture, followed by some of the milk mixture, mixing until just combined before adding more. Always start and end with the flour mixture
- Pour 3/4 of the batter into a cake pan
- Add the cocoa to the remaining cake batter and mix
- Drop by spoonfuls over top of white batter. Using a knife, swirl the cocoa batter to incorporate it in a marble effect
- Bake in oven for 30 -35 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean
this looks awesome!
